Podgorica once got over opening harangue, for the most part (8)
I believe the answer is:
titograd
'podgorica' is the definition.
(I know that podgorica can be written as Titograd)
'once got over opening harangue for the most part' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'got' is 'tog' which is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for titograd that I've seen before include "Balkan city's name 1946 to 1993 - dog trait (anag)" , "Former name of Podgorica (Montenegro) until 1992" .)
